How can I become a customer?

Submit a request for access via the awex.be website. An appointment will be arranged quickly with a member of the team, usually at your company. This first meeting has several objectives:

  • Familiarize ourselves with your business and your export projects
  • Assess your company’s eligibility and access to our services, which will be explained to you in detail
  • Evaluate your readiness to enter the export market through an internationalization readiness assessment. The goal is to ensure that your company is truly ready and has all the necessary internal resources

    The tools of this customer approach

    1

    The internationalisation maturity diagnostic

    A tool that detects a company’s strengths and weaknesses in relation to foreign markets. Its results will generate, in an inclusive mode, tailored recommendations and support proposals to consolidate and professionalise the international approaches of Walloon companies. This diagnosis is carried out by the account managers of the AWEX regional centres.

    The personalised support programme and service packages

    Once the diagnosis has been carried out, the company receives a personalised support programme (PAP), including the non-financial and financial services offered based on the results of the diagnosis.

    In addition to priority processing of their applications, support for companies with high internationalisation potential is, among other things, strengthened by AWEX’s programming of actions specifically dedicated to them, such as business conventions and international events dedicated to putting them in contact with financial investors.
